who would want a house this big?

Price record for Aussie House

Even with 6 kids, they'd only occupy 1/10 of the floorspace, by my non-scientific, quick-&-nasty estimate.

I think someone is over-compensating, if you know what I mean.

Actually, it's only really small because it barely occupied the corner of my screen when I clicked on it

I agree. I'd rather buy a luxury cabin on "the world" and go for a non stop cruise around the world.

Hehe, it looka like a colony of funghi in the thumbnail.

We all know, however, it's not how big it is, it's how you use it that matters!

I would hate to have to clean it (yeah I know, a very girly comment).

Imagine one or 2 kids hiding because they don't want to eat their veggies, so the parents have to call in a search and rescue team.

EDIT: Just added a bigger pic.

Party headquarters. It seems to be about exactly my size. When do I get the keys?

Been looking for somewhere to turn my guitar amps up loud.

A veritable work of tart and mildly ostentatious.

Pretty much sums up stupid Perth property prices. Here you can have a full time job and still have to live in a shelter for homeless people because you can't afford rent. The whole thing is a little contrived and there is nothing special about Mosman Park unless you like the smell of dying algae after the summer blooms every year. Should see what they have done along the coast. As a young lad I lived right on the beach (West Coast Hwy) with 4 others and we would go surfing early in the morning and generally just enjoy life. The house was old and crappy but hey. Now it's 60km of million + dollar houses that are on the most part unoccupied as many of the owners live OS visiting maybe once a year . Talk about selling out our heritage.

Forget about how big it is, the real issue is how ugly it is. Money can't buy taste.

Bit too close to the water for my taste. Looks like a few good storms, tsunamis or sea levels rising will dissolve the foundations, leaving a rather expensive mess. At least there will be fewer rooms to clean
